To compare it with arbitrary values, you'll have to use a task (or
script) of your own, at least for now.
If you want to test for specific values, you can try the following
trick (first shown by Jose Alberto Fernandez IIRC).
<property name="bastian.${fantastica}" value="dont-care" />
<target name="atreyu" if="bastian.bux" ...>
The target "atreyu" will only be executed if the property "fantastica"
contained the value "bux" (as the property "bastian.bux" wouldn't be
defined otherwise).
